After many years of growth, drone technology feels like it has reached a plateau. Even inexpensive drones now have robust collision-avoidance sensors, long battery life, good image quality, and easy-to-use software. So where does the Mavic 3 Pro3 fit in?
Following DJI's announcement of the professional Inspire 3 drone, the leader in civilian drones has announced the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, a flagship drone with the world's first triple camera system.
DJI’s recent release of the Mavic 3 Classic slightly confuses the company’s drone lineup but gives consumers a drone that’s better suited to most creative’s needs and better suited to customer checkbooks.

DJI has published a firmware update for the Mavic 3 that fully unlocks all of the drone's capabilities and lets it do everything the company promised it could when it was launched last year.
Drones are fun. It doesn’t matter if we’re flying them or looking at drone photos and videos, there’s still that sense of wonder and awe as earthbound humans. That excitement carries over to watching not only any new drone, but in this case a high-end one that promises so much. There’s always inherent hype when a company like DJI announces a drone, and in the case of the Mavic 3, it may be justified.
DJI has announced the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine drones that feature two main cameras. The first features a 4/3-sized, 20-megapixel sensor behind a 24mm adjustable aperture prime lens, and the second is a 28x hybrid zoom camera, effectively combining the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom, but with upgraded hardware.
Back in the mid to late 1990s, digital cameras had a storage problem: they either used expensive memory cards or built-in memory with limited capacity and awkward cables.
A new leak suggests that not only is DJI close to releasing the Mavic 3 Pro, it also will have several eye-catching specifications: 46-minute flight time and a dual-camera system, one of which features a 4/3-inch sensor.

I love drones, but I don't love the stereotypes, stigmas, attention, and negativity that comes with them. I've been flying since the Phantom 4, so I got into it right as the wild west of drone flying was coming to an end, and restrictions and regulations were being rolled out.
Just 10 days after a major leak told us what we should expect, Chinese drone maker DJI has officially unveiled the Mavic Air 2: a drone they're calling "the smartest, safest and easiest-to-fly consumer drone" on the market.
Specs and photos of the upcoming DJI Mavic Air 2 have leaked, and while it doesn't look to be a totally revolutionary update with any dynamite new features, the drone maker has made some key improvements where it counts.
Consumer drones were first released in 2010, and over the years, the technology, size and price have improved considerably. The DJI Mavic 2 Pro, for example, folds up to the size of a brick, features a Hasselblad-badged 20MP camera, and cost about $1550. But unless you’re a photographer who specializes in aerial photography, the cost is still steep for a “see if you like it” approach.
After months of leaks and rumors, DJI has officially unveiled the Mavic Mini: an exceptionally light, palm-sized, foldable drone that's "portable, easy to fly, designed for safety and perfect for everyone who wants to experience the fun of flying."
Since the 2010 launch of the Parrot AR.Drone, consumer interest in drones has skyrocketed. DJI’s ubiquitous Phantom, originally released in 2013, has spawned multiple iterations and the company has further developed product lines like the Spark and Mavic to fill various niches and price points.
DJI has officially announced the successor(s) to the popular Mavic Pro camera drone that was announced back in September 2016. Instead of one drone, there's two: the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic 2 Zoom.

Ouch. The DJI Mavic is one of the most adored drones released in 2016, and why not? It's small, it's fast, and it captures beautiful footage. But is it durable? Can it survive being sprayed with water, rammed into walls, walloped with basketballs, and set on fire? Let's find out!
Ouch. Reviews don't get much worse than starting with "The GoPro Karma is unquestionably, inarguably, unarguably, without a doubt, the worst drone I have ever flown." And it only went downhill from there...
(Warning: Strong language).
